GardenWalk Cleveland
Invites West Parkers
to Showcase Their
Gardens
GardenWalk Cleveland takes place the weekend of
July 13 and 14, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. This is a free,
self-guided tour of more than 200 private neighborhood
gardens within Cleveland’s city limits. Its purpose is to
invite people to connect through the love of gardens.
West Park’s first foray with GardenWalk in 2015
was a great success! And, in a repeat performance last
year, even more gardeners showcased their handiwork
to neighbors and people from all over the city, county,
and state! About a dozen people from other countries
toured the gardens as well. Last summer’s event at-
tracted upwards of 2,000+ guests over the course of
the weekend!
Once again, West Park is excited to participate in
the walk. And, just like last year, the neighborhoods
will be split between the two days. Saturday, July 13,
will feature gardens in West Park, Old Brooklyn, and
NECK PAIN? Detroit Shoreway. Then, on Sunday, July 14, gardens in

of their own gardens will have an opportunity to visit
gardens in the other neighborhoods.

12West Park’s Post Offices …by Gary Swilik
The U.S. Post Office was established in 1775
when West Park was still a nameless wilderness.
Exactly where our very first post office was located
is uncertain due to scarce records and changing
boundaries. One of our earliest post offices – possibly
our first – was located at Oswald Kamm’s general
store at the southwest corner of Rocky River Drive
and Lorain Avenue. Mr. Kamm was appointed local
postmaster by President Grover Cleveland in 1886.
Kamm’s post office and store became a landmark.
Outgoing mail bore the postmark “Kamms Ohio.”
Among Mr. Kamm’s duties was a daily trip to the
train station in present Rocky River, Ohio, to pick Oswald Kamm’s store, at the southwest corner of Lorain Avenue and Rocky River Drive,
